What this data can and can’t tell you
- What isn’t here. No ratings by inspectors, no enrolment trend: neither is published school by school.
- Bands, not ranks. A school with no reported result has no band; one with several averages its fifths.
- Boards and systems. Every public school has a board: English or French, and in this province public or Catholic too. Independent schools have none.
- The year. The open list of 2024-25.
- The kinds of school. Elementary and secondary come from the grades each school offers; a school offering both counts as all-grade.
- Which schools count. Every school inside Uplands’s outline or within 3 km of it, the rule used across the site.
